(2) Is habitually sent out or permitted to beg in public places or lives by begging;

(3) Associates with persons who tend to corrupt and contaminate him or her;

(4) Is known to be vicious or incorrigible; or

(5) Has parents who are in constant habits of drunkenness or gross debauchery or who

are living together in unlawful cohabitation.
